NOTE FROM THE MANUFACTURER
Thank you for choosing one of our models. Please read this manual carefully. It has
been written to give you tips on installation, use and maintenance. If you need further
clarification, please contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly.
All our models are designed and manufactured for optimal performance. However
the operation and performance you get will depend largely on the installation.
The appliance must be installed only by qualified professionals and must comply
with all local regulations, including those that refer to national and European standards.
Instructions for the chimney
Correct operation depends on the chimney draught. Tips for optimal performance:
- The woodburner must be connected to a flue that guarantees sufficient chimney
draught.
- The flue must have sufficient height (not less than 4 m) and should extend at least one
metre beyond the maximum height of the building and other surrounding buildings, trees
and other obstacles in a minimum radius of 10 m.
- The diameter of the flue of the appliance is ideal for keeping a good draught; do not
reduce/increase said diameter if at all possible.
- Do not connect several appliances to the same chimney.
CORRECT INCORRECT

- The chimney should run through the interior of the building. Install insulated double-walled
pipes when the chimney flue runs outside the building.
- When the flue has to have angles or bends, avoid horizontal or downward sections.
- You must plan for the cleaning of the flue and, if necessary, install pipes with access holes or
cleaning hatches in sections that are not easily accessed.
- When a metal chimney is fitted inside a brick chimney, it must exceed the height of the latter
and protrude a few centimetres at the top.
- The installation of the pipe and cap must strictly prevent water from getting into the
appliance on rainy days. Water causes more damage to woodburners than the high
combustion temperatures for which they are prepared.
When the pipes run through the inside of the home or a brick chimney, they should be
mounted as shown in Figure 1 to prevent liquids produced by the condensation of the gases
flowing through the joints and out of the pipes. If a pipe section runs outside the building it must
be mounted in the direction shown in Figure 2 to prevent rainwater draining down the exterior of
the pipe and entering into the pipe interior through the joints.
Figure 1.
Correct direction of the pipes inside the
home. The liquids produced by the
condensation of the gases do not flow
through the joints and out of the pipes.
Figure 2.
Correct direction of the pipes outside the
home. Rainwater does not enter into the
pipe through the joints.

EXTERIOR AIR INLET
For the fireplace draught to work correctly, the room must have an outside air inlet that is
at least sufficient to replenish the volume of air that comes out of the chimney flue.
An air inlet must be fitted through the outer wall and if a vent is installed, it must not be
adjustable and must be fitted in such a way that it cannot be blocked.
Warning. In homes without the appropriate outside air inlet, extraction fans (e.g. kitchen
extractors) can cause problematic reverse chimney draughts.
Instructions for Installation
The installation of the appliance must comply with all local regulations, including those that
refer to national and European standards.
Although the following describes an example installation to ensure good performance, it may
not be ideal for your circumstances. In any case, it is always better to have a professional do
the installation.
1. Exterior air inlet.
2. Hot air outlet. At least one of the hot
air outlets of the woodburner convection
chamber must be activated.
3- Hot air outlet of the chimney chamber
by natural convection.
4- Entry of air into the chimney
convection chamber.

Lighting a fire
Important: the fire must be lit using thin, dry wood.
1. Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and
another layer of thicker wood on top.
2. Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using fire-lighters or special lighting
products, if necessary.
3. Leave the door ajar, with an opening of 1-5 cm, so that enough air can enter for the fire to
light quickly.
4. After approximately 15 minutes, once the appliance is hot and the wood is well-lit, close
the door and adjust the air inlet. If you see that the volume of flames decreases or tends to go
out, open the air inlet or repeat step 3.
When you reload with more wood, if there are not enough flames or embers to light the new
load of wood quickly, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Adjusting primary and secondary air inlets
You have purchased an insert model that offers maximum efficiency and performance.
Therefore, control of the primary air inlet, located in the ashtray or at the bottom of the front, and
the secondary air inlet, located on the left of the front of the appliance, are essential to achieve
optimum combustion levels.
Note: The layout and location of the primary air inlet may vary depending on the model you
have purchased.
Secondary air inlet
Primary air inlet

- Primary air inlet
It is essential to open to maximum position when lighting the fire and to leave the door ajar to
avoid the condensation of fumes on the glass, closing it again once the appliance has warmed
up.
In order to avoid burns, always use the glove supplied with the
appliance when adjusting the primary air inlet and opening the door.
- Secondary air inlet
It must always be in fully open position when lighting the fire. During operation, adjust the
combustion with the secondary air inlet according to the chimney draft and the wood used.
Schematic of the primary and secondary air inlet adjustment controls.
Closed position Open position
You can adjust the secondary air inlet when the appliance is warm enough and there is a
sufficient amount of flames.
Secondary air regulation will provide greater control of combustion, slowing down combustion
and making the most of every load of firewood.
In order to avoid burns, always use the adjustment tool
supplied with the appliance to adjust the secondary air inlet.

Combustion
To achieve a good combustion, when the wood is well lit and a high temperature has been
reached, close the primary air inlet (via the ash box). In this way, the combustion air (preheated
in the upper section of the fireplace) enters through the secondary air inlet at the top of the
fireplace near the glass, resulting in better gas combustion. You will notice this in an increase in
flames and temperature.
Woodburners are intermittent combustion appliances. This means that they should be lit,
loaded with an approximate weight of fuel as recommended by the manufacturer for each model,
followed by a full combustion cycle and fuel reloads after each combustion cycle.
Good combustion is necessary for optimum performance and a better view of the flames
through the glass. Guidelines:
- Maintain a high and constant temperature in the fireplace. Accordingly, the fireplace door must
be closed at all times and opened only to load firewood, which must be done as quickly as
possible.
- Do not take a long time when loading firewood and wait for the end of the combustion cycle,
when the flames of the previous load disappear.
A full combustion cycle comprises the following:
1. A short period after reloading when the wood begins to heat up without flames. The time until
the flame lights is an indication of the fireplace temperature. If you wait too long to reload
firewood, the temperature falls too low and the new load of firewood does not light well. This
has a negative effect on combustion and dirties the glass.
2. The temperature of the firewood increases rapidly and it begins to break up, emitting gas that
ignites if the fireplace temperature is appropriate. The fireplace temperature begins to increase
as the fuel emits more gas and the flames increase.
3. After a certain period of time, which varies depending on the type of firewood, the maximum
temperature value is reached and the gases emitted from the firewood decrease slowly along
with the volume of the flames.
When the firewood gas emission is complete, the flame goes out and the firewood turns to
burning embers.

- The fuel load should have the approximate weight recommended by the manufacturer for each
model. Preferably in one or two pieces.
- Avoid overloading with firewood that is too thin as this can cause poor combustion. The
firewood emits an excessive amount of gas very quickly and the air supply is insufficient.
Although there is a large volume of flames, combustion it is not good and the glass tends to get
dirty. There is a danger of reaching excessive temperatures that threaten the integrity of the
woodburner and user safety.
- Select the firewood to achieve the desired type of operation. Thin firewood should be used to
get higher thermal power, use it after lighting the fire for a faster response as you need more
heat.
Use larger-size, thick wood for a slower combustion when you have less need for heat or for
overnight maintenance, always preceded by a cycle of more power with thinner firewood, when
the appliance temperature is already high. If necessary, when starting the fire, burn a
combination of thin and thick firewood.
When the woodburner is in operation, the door should always be closed. When you open
the door to reload, do so slowly to avoid the smoke inside the fireplace from blowing out into the
room.
In woodburners and inserts, prolonged and continuous use at a very low
rate of combustion or with very wet wood can cause highly flammable creosote
to build up in the flue.
When lighting the fire for the very first time, smoke and smells may be
produced due to the paint drying. Therefore, keep the room ventilated.

MAINTENANCE
It is very important not to wet the woodburner with window-cleaner, water or special cleaning
products. Heatproof paint is not waterproof.
Clean the paintwork with a feather duster or a soft, dry cloth. If over time you want to repaint
the insert, the manufacturer makes a spray paint available from your dealer.
To clean the glass, be careful to spray the cleaning product on a cloth and clean only the
glass, without wetting the rest of the door. Window-cleaners and special products often contain
chemicals that attack the paint and the fibre seals and cause oxidation of the metal parts.
Overloading the appliance with firewood decreases performance, reduces energy
efficiency and accelerates the wear and tear of the appliance.
It is essential to respect the loads of firewood for the rated power described at the end of
the manual.
Overloading the appliance voids all the manufacturer’s warranties.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY
The manufacturer guarantees the product for a term of five years, excluding parts subject to
normal wear and tear.
The warranty excludes: fibre seals, ceramic glass and removable parts of the fireplace, as
well as parts and damage caused by misuse or a faulty installation.
The warranty covers the replacement or repair of parts recognised as faulty manufacture.
Replaced parts are guaranteed for the term of warranty remaining from the date of purchase.
TIPS AND SAFETY STANDARDS
Woodburner performance also depends greatly on the fuel used. The wood must be dry to
get more heat. It will also be easier to regulate heat and keep the woodburner and flue in better
condition. Store firewood in a dry, ventilated place protected from the rain for at least two years.
- Do not simultaneously use other flues or appliances that may cause a depression in the same
or an adjacent room.
Warning. In homes without the appropriate outside air inlet, extraction fans (e.g. kitchen
extractors) can cause problematic reverse chimney draughts.
- Do not use flammable liquids to light the fire; always keep them away from the woodburner.

- Do not use the woodburner as an incinerator, never burn plastics, waste, garbage or rubbish.
- Remove the ashes when the woodburner is off and place them in a metal container as there
may be burning embers hidden in the ashes.
- You should check the chimney regularly and keep it clean and in good condition. Creosote
build-up in the chimney could cause it to catch fire.
- The woodburner must not be used by minors.
- Warn children of the danger of burns.
- Do not modify the appliance without authorisation and use only original spare parts.
- The appliance must be installed on floors with sufficient bearing capacity.
- Observe the minimum safety distances from nearby combustible materials.
In front of the appliance: minimum 90 cm.
Combustible materials must not be installed on
the appliance or inside the brickwork.
- On days with adverse draught conditions (very low atmospheric pressure, heavy frosts), or
when the flue is very cold, or in chimneys with a poor draught, you can help the draught to start
before lighting the fire by heating the flue:
1. Prepare the wood for lighting inside the woodburner.
2. Place a firelighter or a sheet of newspaper on the deflector at the start of the flue and set fire to
it.
3. After a few seconds, when the chimney draught starts, light the wood as instructed.
